No offense, but these threads aren't about the author. They're for readers, and a tl;dr crack dialogue whose only purpose is to mock the author and show off how clever the summary nonny can be isn't helpful. I'd rather have a couple of paragraphs summarizing any important plot points and what the nonny thought about the writing.

If you read downward, you'll be able to see that I clearly pointed out that the threads were for the reader.

And the summary nonnie does point out what they think of the writing. In an amusing format imo. A lot of times, I'd much rather read these than the actual fics in question because I like them so much. I also don't think that it's particularly mocking the author but rather the fic. It's in the same vein of the MST3K fics that used to be all the rage, like, seven years ago. You personal mileage may indeed vary. That doesn't mean certain nonnies need to be hating on a type of summary that they, personally, don't enjoy. If you would like a different kind of summary, then you can certainly write one.

Yes, exactly. That's what I don't like about them. They are fics in of themselves. I don't want to read a fic to get information about a different fic. Next thing you know, people will be writing fics about the summary nonnies' fics. On Yuletide! ;)

Only if I can ship summary!nonnie with someone like reference!nonnie.

I disagree so hard. The summary!nonnies put it out there and everyone can react however they want to it, just like we do with fic. They can't expect everyone to say something nice or not say anything at all.

YMMV. I'd much rather have a summary in any format than no summary at all.

I'd rather have no summary than something like this one but like you said mileage varies.
